BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION This interim condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting. This interim condensed consolidated financial information does not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements. The Group omitted disclosures which would substantially duplicate the information contained in its audited annual consolidated financial statements for prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ), such as accounting policies and details of accounts which have not changed significantly in amount or composition. This interim condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared on the assumption that the Group is a going concern and will continue operating for the foreseeable future. Exchange rates for the currencies in which the Group transacts were as follows: 31 December Closing exchange rates [RUB] 1 U.S. dollar ( USD ) 62.76 57.60 1 Euro 72.99 68.87 9
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION (in millions of Russian rubles, if not stated otherwise) Average exchange rates for the six months ended [RUB] 1 USD 59.35 57.99 1 Euro 71.82 62.72 Seasonality of business. Due to the seasonal nature of coal sales caused by the limited availability of marine navigation during the winter period, higher revenues and operating profits are usually expected in the second half of the year than the first half. In, 30% of revenue were received in the first half of the year and 70% in the second half. Stripping volumes are higher in the first half of the year as more preparation works are required to enable a higher volume of coal extraction in the second half of the year due to the seasonality of coal sales. 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation have been followed in this interim condensed consolidated financial information as were applied in the preparation of the Group s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December, except for the impact of the adoption of the following new and amended Standards starting from 1 January : IFRS 9 Financial Instruments; IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers; IFRIC 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration; Amendments to IFRS 2 Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions; Amendments to IAS 40 Investment Property; Amendments to IFRS 4 Application of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts; Annual improvements to IFRSs, 2014-2016. The adoption of new standards, amendments and interpretations did not have a significant effect on the Group s interim condensed consolidated financial information, except for the impact disclosed below. IFRS 9 Financial Instruments In relation to the impairment of financial assets, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments requires an expected credit loss model, as opposed to an incurred credit loss model under IAS 39 in order to provide timely and complete recognition of impairment losses. In accordance with the requirements of the new standard, a provision assessment was performed considering the credit ratings of counterparties. The Group did not recognize the accumulated effect of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments adoption at retained earnings as at beginning of the reporting period because management assessed such effect as insignificant. IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers Management has analysed the requirements of IFRS 15 on the classification of additional demurrage and dispatch payments in accordance with the terms of coal sales contracts and concluded that additional compensation payable to customers should be accounted for as a reduction of the revenue. As no significant compensation payments occurred during the first half of, the application of the new standard did not have significant effect on the Group s interim condensed consolidated financial information. 10
